What the Butler Wore is a great vintage shop. They carry beautiful old school pieces. What is up…read morewith vintage high heels though? Why are they so small? Did women have super petite feet in the 1960s or do I just have gigantic bear paws? It's just so odd. If I could fit into a pair of one of these gorgeous shoes then I would be out £20, £30 maximum. They carry awesome coats and beautiful dresses. I found a bowtie selection that would make any swing dancer weep. Men's clothes are abundant in this store as well. There are lots of really suave jackets for male hipsters. The woman that runs the shop is lovely. She helped me through the whole shopping experience. If I needed any information from her she was quick to provide it. This place is just a great experience.

What did the butler wear?…read more Well if he dressed himself in this shop, he'd be wearing a lot of uninteresting vintage. Some people like 80's vintage with its loud sequins and copious ruffles. Some people like 60's vintage with its flowing skirts and bohemian prints. Some people like the emperor's new clothes which gets quite risque. Some people like to ride Bengali tigers around town. What the Butler wore like mainly dull 40-60's clothes that don't much hold my attention. Nor do they hold grudges, which is always appreciated. Someone somewhere sometime someplace will like this stuff, but it's not my style. I want color and pizazz and fitted pencil skirts and 20's flapper dresses, not much of which I saw here. (I saw not, but nor did I chainsaw. Good thing eh? But if you know of a good see saw in town, we should talk). There's a lot to look at in the store and the staff seems nice enough, but if this store were a magnet, I wouldn't be a metallic product. I'd probably be plastic, or cellophane or just walnuts and peanuts and nuts nuts nuts.

It's very nice that their security at the front door and the staff is extremely accommodating, they are a little shorthanded so give yourself some time and some patience. I worked with MJ and she was absolutely fabulous. I am not a tiny person by any means and she took the time to grab me some additional sizes out of the back. They do have up to size 16. Just ask for a sales clerk to help you. MJ totally went above and beyond for me. I got boots, a trenchcoat, and I even bought my mom a really nice wrap over poncho. Some of the items are marked down 50% off and then they have additional tag sales that are 40 50 and 60% off the sticker price. One trenchcoat would normally cost $2600+ I got everything for under $1400. This place is totally legit if you can make it it's worth a trip. They have bags, accessories, men's, and women's stuff. They even have shoes and kids clothes. It's a massive store. Give yourself some time and give the staff some grace. I can see why people will rave about this place online. The deals are real.

I have been looking for an everyday purse for a while now. While I was in London, I scrolled thru…read moreYelp for shopping areas and I discovered that Burberry had an Outlet here! I found the perfect purse at a great price for a designer purse. This store has a great selection of purses, accessories, and clothes. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The reason I am writing this review is let people know that the Wi-Fi is not the best in this area of town. I had to wait in the store to call Uber because as soon as I walked outside I lost coverage. Both drop off and pickup had to be done on the main street and not in front of the Burberry Outlet.

"Have you been to COS?" I questioned my BFF over lunch at nearby NOPI. After explaining that H&M's…read moresophisticated, higher end sister was my European go-to and still not available in the States, it became clear I had to take her there. Opened in March 2007, the Regent Street location is London's first Collection of Style (COS). Whilst I still haven't properly figured out their sizing (I consistently have to take two of every item into the fitting room to get it right), I continue to love COS - particularly for dresses and accessories. At the moment about half the store is on sale so it's a nice to time to get your Nordic fashion fix. Neon lovers: orange is figuring prominently in a lot of the current collection. I stuck to more muted tones with my purchases but I admire ladies who can rock super brights. My BFF picked up a terrific large checked scarf (as well as an oatmeal coloured rolled hem jumper for her boyfriend.) I spotted a blue/grey leather colour block clutch that I very nearly bought to avoid trying to DIY my own. Given I'm still thinking about it, I'll probably have to go back and fetch it at some point. There are plenty of basics here but if you desire to be more daring, they've got that too. Think coated linen sculptured dresses, glued seams, waxed linen shrunken shirts, bold statement necklaces. COS may well be the only store in London I can't manage to leave empty handed.

Cos rhymes with classic cool. It aims to take some very good natural quality materials and design…read morethem into timeless, simple but tasteful, Marni-esque designs. It is hard to guess that this store is even remotely related to the giant Swedish chain H&M. Best in store is the little black dress. It comes in different lengths and designs but always aims to impress. I do like Cos, and I feel like I will be shopping there a lot... in a couple of years. I feel like this store is a bit too 'grown up' at times and I plan to take advantage of my freedom to wear 'silly' clothes for as longs as I can.

Having worked in an office in Mayfair, Thomas Pink fits the bill when one needs to dress like one…read moreshould in and around snooty Mayfair. It would appear that Thomas Pink has done a good job on its homework and has brought good quality shirts at a reasonable price to the masses. Whenever I visit this store it is always busy which is clearly a mark of the success that they are achieving. The thing is this, you can go out and spend money on a cheap and cheerful shirt which is possibly going to last you 6 months or you can invest a bit more on a Pink shirt that feels better, last longer and looks more stylish. The choice is yours, I for one would much rather have the Pink shirt and love the feel and quality that it gives. Trust me you will definitely have more pulling power with the ladies. They always have some offers on - two for one or a free tie or cufflinks etc and for that reason this is the shirt supplier that I choose.

I'm hard on bags at times. The oilcloth typically covers a cardboard liner. Don't expect it to hold up if you're out in the rain for very long. I do love the zippered pockets and bright colorful prints. It's like the Shabby Chic of handbags! I love to switch bags depending on the occasion and destination. The adjustable strap provides various options for over the shoulder or cross body. Typically there's a second set of handles to carry the bags over your arm. In most styles the bottom of the bag has protection for when you put it down. They're just all around versatile and pretty. I recently found a Cath Kidston dish towel in my cabinet. The colors are vibrant and it looks new. The material is very sturdy and naturally there's her logo sewn on perfectly. I make all my purchases online. Frequently there's a deal on shipping. It was very interesting the first time I ordered as I never purchased anything from outside the United States. Everything went very smooth. I'm recommending you check out the website.
